| - I was a little skeptical about this food court during my first visit to Caesars Palace about 6 months ago. Upon my return visit this month, I decided to explore the options. While the prices are a bit high (just like everything in Vegas), the portions are decent. They do offer food to go, so keep that in mind if that suits your style.
During two visits to the Asian place, awkwardly named "Ah So", I once had the seafood udon, and then the house chow mein. Both had good flavor and the portions were large. The seafood udon was a little sparse on meat (shrimp, squid, fish cake, etc), but they did toss in some snow peas and other vegetables as well. They make these when your order, so it's hot and fresh. Interestingly (and in a nice way) they served the udon in a ceramic bowl, rather than plastic. The house chow mein had a decent portion. I took it to go and while eating back in my meeting room with colleagues, they were jealous of my plate. One other nicety was that they offered the spicy yellow mustard.
During two visits to the Bar BQ (bar-b-que) place, the one meat plate was plentiful. The beef brisket was tender and juicy. The cornbread was ok, but a little butter never hurts. Adding a side of the okra vegetable sides was a nice touch. But together with the meat, it could easily serve two people. We had the pork ribs in a second visit. Flavor was still good and the meat was tender. But given that the ribs comes with bones, the beef brisket plate is the better detail.
This is worth a return visit if I have business in Caesars.
